Lauren & Shawn | 09.29.18

Where do I even begin with these two high school sweethearts?! I’ve known Lauren & Shawn since middle school and I felt incredibly grateful and honored to be the one to capture their wedding. They started dating exactly 10 years ago to the day, September 29, 2008! What better way to celebrate a decade together than with all of their closest family and friends by their side while they said ‘I do.’ And let’s not forget about their most handsome husky Bauer who made a special appearance for photos with his Mom & Dad. He was an absolute ham for the camera!

Tying the knot at The Skinner Barn was the perfect setting for Lauren & Shawn. With it being the start of foliage, the leaves were beginning to change color, the crisp fall air was the perfect temperature and there were mountain views everywhere you looked. You could feel how special this setting was to them.

When Lauren & Shawn are together I noticed a beautiful sense of ease. (Sorry guys I’m going to be corny for a minute!) Like nothing could go wrong. Everything they needed was standing right there in front of them. It was like the rest of the world stopped, and nothing else mattered besides that exact moment together.

I wish you both nothing but the best in your future adventures and I’m sure I’ll see you again soon!

Waterworks Food + Drink | Winooski, Vermont Wedding Photographer

Carrie & Mel | 09.22.18

I first met Carrie & Mel at her sister’s wedding last year. Emily & Zach were married at The Mansfield Barn with an incredible team of people by their side. One of the most valuable team member’s was Carrie, she was by her sister’s side every step of the way; carrying her dress in between photos and helping in any way possible. When Carrie reached out for wedding photography (for her own day!) I was ecstatic! I felt so honored to be chosen by the same family not only once but twice. I was over the moon excited! And guess who was right there by her side the entire day, Emily. She was beyond helpful getting everyone together for family portraits, I could of hired her to be my assistant!

Even though Carrie & Mel’s wedding day was different than Emily & Zach’s big barn celebration, it suited the two of them perfectly. Waterworks Food + Drink is a stunning location for a small intimate wedding, everything was just right. The views, the natural window light, the food & the cocktails. What more do you need besides your closest family & friends!

And that’s exactly what Carrie & Mel wanted. Their closest people all in one place to celebrate together. When Carrie’s Dad pulled out his stack of note cards for his toast, I knew we were in for a treat. Not only was his speech a poem but his rhyming was ON POINT. I was so impressed. I’ll admit I was definitely laughing as hard as the guests!

Carrie & Mel, I wish you a lifetime of sunset’s together as beautiful as the one on your wedding day. Thank you for having me be a part of it. It was truly an honor!

Emily & Nate | 09.08.18

Emily and Nate were married on a beautiful day in early September at The Skinner Barn in Waistfield, Vermont. Nothing but blue skies, crisp air & that feeling of fall being right around the corner. Definitely my favorite time of year in Vermont! September 8, 2018 was filled with so many smiles and laughs right from the get go and continued all through the night. I truly had SO much fun photographing Emily & Nate tie the knot.

When Nate saw his stunning bride for the first time he was truly shocked. His jaw dropped. The first words out of his mouth were ‘Holy Shit!’ I was laughing out loud (and so was Emily) from his reaction! And that pretty much became the motto for the day. Everything was out of this world amazing and what better way to describe it as ‘holy shit’ this is actually happening!

Emily & Nate, I knew from the moment I met you guys that your wedding day was going to be fun & genuine. Your laughter radiated the entire day and there was never a time when you both weren’t smiling. Thank you for having me be a part of your joyous day, it was incredible!

Kamp Kill Kare State Park | Saint Albans Historical Museum | Saint Albans Wedding Photographer

Brittany & Chris | 09.02.18

Brittany & Chris were married on a gorgeous Sunday afternoon in early September. Kamp Kill Kare State Park was a unique location for their wedding that I immediately fell in love with. The lake was a picture perfect backdrop for their ceremony looking right out over the water. When Chris saw Brittany for the first time in that beautiful gown you could tell it was truly meant to be. Seeing her take that long walk through the park with her Dad and come up over the top of the hill took everyone’s breath away. The way Brittany & Chris would look at each other throughout the entire ceremony was simply love.

Before their reception at the Saint Albans Historical Museum, we continued taking photos in Taylor Park across the street. These two are perfect for each other. Chris would do absolutely anything for Brittany, including being in front of the camera for 15 more minutes of photos (even though that was the last thing he wanted to do!) But he did it for her.

Brittany & Chris, thank you for including me in your wedding day & congratulations!

A Classy Vermont Backyard Wedding | Berlin, VT Wedding Photographer

Kait & Brody | 09.01.18

The first day of September was absolutely perfect for Kait & Brody to tie the knot at her parents home in Berlin, Vermont. Can you imagine waking up to this view everyday?! It’s incredible! I first met Kait during our time attending UVM and when she reached out to me for wedding photography I could not of been more thrilled! It’s amazing how college connects us even after we graduate. Go cats go!

Everything about their day was simply classy, from Kait’s stunning dress & long veil, her grandmother’s gorgeous pearls, and the bridal party all in black. And did you see the guys pink socks?! They definitely were a well dressed crew! After the ceremony everyone gathered at The Capital Plaza Hotel in Montpelier and started the party. Kait & Brody’s first dance was so beautiful, I could of photographed them dancing all night long. There were some very heart-felt toasts from not only the best man and maid of honor but the bride and groom themselves. And let’s not forget my favorite game of all time: The Shoe Game! Even I was on the floor laughing!

Thank you Kait & Brody for the opportunity to capture your amazing day. I wish you all the best for your future together!

A Backyard Summer Vermont Wedding | Jay, VT Wedding Photographer

Emily & Brett | 08.25.18

Emily & Brett made it official August 25, 2018 under sunny skies and mountain views in Jay, Vermont. It feels like just yesterday I was meeting them for the first time at their engagement session last summer; And now Im reflecting on their flawless wedding day! Their friends cabin property was the most perfect and unique setting to host their big day. I am so excited to share it with you!

Emily & Brett have the most easy going smiles and their love radiated between them all day long. From the moment they saw each other for their first look, that long walk down the aisle and even on the dance floor. There were endless emotions, knee slapping laughter and happy tears. You could truly feel the love surrounding these two. When Brett's brother, Aaron, pulled out the binder for his best man speech the crowd was in for a treat. I was grinning from ear to ear the entire time capturing everyone's infectious laughs, definitely one for the books! It was apparently clear to everyone in the room just how much Aaron loves and admires the bride & groom.

Thank you Emily & Brett for the opportunity to capture your wedding & congratulations!

The Little Farm at Willoughby | Westmore, Vermont Wedding Photographer

Chelsea & Logan | 08.18.18 

The Little Farm at Willoughby was a stunning setting for Chelsea & Logan to tie the knot. As I headed north the morning of August 18, 2018, I knew the misty rain was going to stop. When I arrived in Westmore the fog was so heavy you couldn’t even see the lake but it felt magical, like a scene from a movie. The lighting for the rest of the day was an absolute dream: the fog lifted, there were bright overcast skies for the ceremony and then the sun made an appearance in the evening. I was in photographer heaven!

There wasn’t a dry eye in the crowd when Chelsea read her personal vows, and Logan’s dip for their first dance was the best I’ve ever seen! All of the details came together perfectly for a fun, easy-going, beautiful wedding day for these two amazing people. And did you see the DIY signage?! Chelsea did all the writing while Logan cut and stained the wood boards! What a team. And one of the best moments was capturing Logan pick up a delicious slice of wood-fired pizza and feed it to his bride without getting a drop of tomato sauce on the dress! That is true love. Their cake cutting was precisely at 8:18pm followed by one of my all time favorite games: the wedding shoe game. I was dying from laughter the entire time!

Chelsea & Logan ended their sunset portraits with 5 quiet minutes for themselves, just the two of them, processing the day. It goes by so fast, and in a blink of an eye the day is over, we have to remember what it’s really all about, your love and commitment to one another.

Chelsea & Logan it was an honor to be the one to capture your day!

Chloe & Alex | 08.11.18

Chloe & Alex were married at All Souls Interfaith Gathering in Shelburne, Vermont surrounded by their closest family and friends. With this view and the perfect weather, you couldn't of asked for a better day. There were plenty of laughs including the confusion of the gentlemen preparing the pocket squares; This is never an easy task! (see Alex's face below) haha. Also, how sweet is this flower girl?! Outdoor toasts and cake cutting made for gorgeous light and stunning scenery. Why have a champagne toast when you can cheers with a one of a kind beer brewed just for the newlyweds! 

Thank you Chloe & Alex for having me capture your day. I hope you live hoppily ever after!

Cue the confetti! It's the weekend! Happy Friday everyone. Ashley & Slava were married on a sunny Vermont day at Mountain Top Inn & Resort! They said 'I do' overlooking the mountains with their closest family and friends by their side. What a picturesque day! From a mac & cheese bar at cocktail hour to the most incredible sundae bar fueled by Ben & Jerry's, a Harry Potter themed guest book & cake, and the sweetest father daughter dance, their special day with filled with SO many laughs my belly hurt by the time it was over! Ashley and Slava sang every word to their first dance song and then crushed it on the dance floor as the night went on. And did I mention I worked with my brother who was their DJ that night?! How amazing. Congratulations Ashley & Slava!

Tricia & Brian | 08.04.18

Tricia & Brian celebrated their love on a summer day in August at The Mansfield Barn. I try to remind my brides that the one thing you have absolutely no control of is the weather. The rain decided to come to Jericho, Vermont at the exact time of Tricia & Brian's ceremony but it didn't stop them from having the most absolutely perfect wedding. With clear skies for photos before and after they tied the knot, it truly was a magical day! 

Tricia & Brian's first look was at their beautiful home just down the road from the wedding venue, on the same bridge we took their snowy engagement photos last winter. And to top the night off, who needs cake when you can have a Vermont Maple Creemee?!? Palmer Lane Maple parked their truck right outside Tricia & Brian's reception and I'm not going to lie this was one of my favorite parts of the day! How fun?!

Tricia & Brian, I hope you enjoy these highlights of your wedding day and I can't wait to share the rest with you!

Isa & Alex were married in the small town of Huntington, Vermont on the most perfect summer day. With views of camels hump, wood-fired pizza, local brews and amazing music, all of their closest family and friends gathered to celebrate this very special couple. 

There are not many Saturdays during the summer where I can simply drive 10 minutes and be at my wedding destination for the day. When Isa and Alex asked me to be their photographer at Sleepy Hollow Inn I couldn't of been more excited to photograph at this hidden gem that I drive by almost everyday. 

Thank you both so much for the honor of being your photographer!

Naomi and Jonathon were married this past Saturday in their beautiful backyard in Jericho, Vermont. It was the perfect quaint setting for these two love birds to tie the knot. The foliage was just starting to pop making a stunning backdrop for their ceremony.

You could truly feel the love Naomi & Jonathon share with each other and their son Bo. They were surrounded by such amazing family and friends, I felt so welcomed into their day from the moment I arrived. Naomi & Jonathon, your love radiates from within. The way you two look at each other, like nothing else matters, is truly magical!

Congratulations to the new Mr. & Mrs. Genova! Thank you for choosing me to capture your special day!

Heather & Cody | 09.30.17

We had an absolutely perfect September day at The Mansfield Barn last weekend for Heather & Cody's wedding. Complete with cowgirl boots, sunflowers and views of Mount Mansfield, every detail came together beautifully! It was amazing seeing so many friends, family and loved ones travel up to Vermont for this very special couple.

I first met Heather & Cody two years ago when my boyfriend, Drew, and I were living in Western Massachusetts. Drew and Heather were coworkers at The Farm Table and when Cody popped the question Drew was the first person to let Heather know that his girlfriend was a photographer. We did engagement photos at Heather's parents gorgeous home in Northfield, MA. I recommended they take a look at The Mansfield Barn for their venue, they fell in love with it, booked their date and immediately asked me to capture their wedding day!

It makes me smile just thinking about all of the connections that brought us together. Thank you Heather & Cody for having me be a part of your special day!

Jasmine & Mitchell | 09.03.17

I first met Jasmine & Mitchell last summer as they were transitioning their lives from Western Massachusetts to Underhill, Vermont. Much like their wedding day, I captured their engagement photos with their pup Cooper on a bright sunshiny September evening at Mills Riverside Park. There is something about seeing my couple's engagement photos framed that makes me smile from ear to ear. Not only did I spot a few in their beautiful home but the walls of The Mansfield Barn were decorated with them also!

It's been great getting to know Jasmine & Mitchell this past year through in-person meetings, their engagement session and finally their wedding day! Their families and friends who surrounded them on Saturday were a true reflection of what kind of people Jasmine and Mitchell are. Everyone was so kind, helpful and supportive. Thank you Jasmine & Mitchell for choosing me to capture your Vermont wedding. Congratulations!

Last Saturday was a very special day at The Mansfield Barn. The ladies got ready at the beautiful Durbrow House in Underhill, Vermont complete with stunning views of Mount Mansfield. We then headed over to Mills Riverside Park in Jericho for Emily & Zac's first look. Coming back to my hometown for weddings is always such a treat. Growing up I never appreciated just how picturesque Vermont is.

Emily & Zac celebrated their love with so many amazing friends & family by their side. They had an incredible team behind them every step of the way. The day could not have gone any smoother thanks to Emily's amazing organizational skills with her detailed timelines and delegation of tasks. The positive energy radiated throughout the entire day. You could tell that everyone was truly enjoying themselves and having fun!
